Ferry is brand new, but not for faint of heart in winter, from scrabster,Thurso hour and change, aberdeen five hours and change, great roads to scrabster, Up here no traffic lights, Traffic jams, nothing

I still have relatives in Aberdeen/Dyce so maybe might make a trip of it when my health improves.  Chuck some fishing gear in the car and might make a 2 or 4 week touring holiday out of it.

Cheap flights?  Sleazy Jet or similar?  May save the ache of a trip by car.....

Ah good, I get nervous working on Admins cars after TB's LPG conversion, no need to reply to the pm's, one is an error anyway, poor phone signal. Thanks for feedback, and for the firewater, does it normally affect ones legs in such a way.....? They would not go where I wanted, although the lager may not have helped  ;D  :y

*** No worries here. Was actually quite surprised how easily/quickly they slid in/out, in/out.   :o    ;D

*** Yes.  But only if a) in sufficient quantities and b) if its the 100 proof/£100 a bottle stuff that you were being fed by me for a job well done....     ;D  ;D

Good lord.   :o  Very agreeable. :y

Aye, its a biggun, full electrics, water, toilet, pit, debating having a two post lift put in, and where the bmw is is where the spray booth is being built

You might get your wish of an OOF meet with all that lot.

You had Monty looking after you this time Tony!!
